Millwall

The Championship playoff semi-final kicks off with Hull City hosting Millwall in a highly anticipated clash. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach, we predict a 1-1 draw. Hull City have shown steady form recently, with a 1.30 points per game over their last 10 matches and a solid home record of WDDW. The Tigers score an average of 2.70 goals per game overall, ...

There will be fireworks when the final day of the season arrives as Wrexham host Middlesbrough in a match with major stakes at both ends of the table. Given the attacking potential of both sides, we predict a 2-2 draw.

Coventry

Coventry

Watford will try to make amends for a 5–1 defeat to Middlesbrough and end a run of four straight losses when they face Coventry on Matchday 46. However, we predict a 2-0 away win as the Sky Blues aim to put icing on the cake on a very successful Championship campaign. Watford's numbers reflect the slump, with just 0.60 points per game across the last 10 matches and a defen ... Read More...

Charlton

Swansea City will be looking to bounce back from a 1–1 draw with Norwich City and secure a top-10 finish when they face Charlton Athletic on the final day of the season. Given Swansea's attacking potential on home soil, we predict a 2-1 home win.

West Bromwich

West Bromwich

Sheffield Wednesday come into the final round already relegated and still sitting on negative points, aiming simply to finish “in positive zero.” However, given huge gap in quality between Wednesday and WBA, we predict a 2-0 away win. Their recent form has been extremely poor, picking up just 0.40 points per game and failing to win any of their last 10 matches. The Owls ... Read More...

Deepdale will host a lively final-round clash as Preston North End look to build on their 3–2 win over Sheffield United and secure a top-10 finish. As both Preston and Sheffield United are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach, we predict a 2-2 draw.

Birmingham City

Portsmouth come into the final round on the back of a solid 3–1 win over Stoke City, sitting safely in 18th place with no pressure on the result. As both Portsmouth and Birmingham City will be with guards down, we predict a 2-2 draw. Pompey's recent form shows 1.40 points per game, with matches averaging a high 3.10 total goals. Defensively, they can be vulnerable (1.80 co ... Read More...

Oxford United

Millwall will look to clinch automatic Premier League promotion when they face already-relegated Oxford United on the last day of the regular season. Given huge gap in quality and motivation between the two sides, we predict a routine 3-0 home win.

Hull City will look to sneak into the playoffs with a win over Norwich City on the last day of the regular season. As the Tigers want this win more than the visitors, we predict a 3-2 home triumph.

Sheffield United

Derby County head into the decisive final round with momentum after a 3–2 win over QPR. As Sheffield United have nothing to play for in Saturday's game, we predict a 3-1 home win. The likes of Callum Elder, Tyreece John-Jules Agyemang, Bobby Clark, and Rhian Brewster are all sidelined for the hosts, but despite those absences, Derby’s form remains strong, taking 1.80 poi ...
